Best Airsoft Pellets of 2025

"I bought these pellets because I wanted a safe, lead-free option for my toddler. They are accurate and have impressive power, piercing through 1/2 inch plywood with ease. I can hit targets accurately up to 40 yards. My only issue is that they cost about $10 for 100, while lead pellets are $10 for 500. Still, I think the extra cost is worth it for safety."

"My purpose for purchasing these was to use my new Air Ordinance SMG for some serious junk destruction. I’ve used Crosman Penetrators before and they’re incredibly hard and penetrate like crazy. I advise caution since they can bounce back if shot from a low-velocity airgun. With the SMG, I’ve blasted through two-by-fours and made a mess of ballistic gel. I keep a steady supply on hand, and they are the best for my needs!"

"These pellets offer great power and stability at up to 12 meters. They are an excellent product overall, but I’m not impressed with the packaging as it often arrives unsealed and tends to open easily. Regardless, the performance is top-notch!"

"I find these game pellets perform well in my air rifle. They're accurate and the price is better than local stores."

"In my experience, Gamo pellets are mid-level but perform adequately. The TS-10 pellets are long and have a blunted tip, which makes them unique. They’re not as stellar as top-range pellets, but they are certainly a good option for casual shooting and pack a punch on cans."

"I use these pellets in my air rifle and SNR 357 air pistol revolvers. With their 10.49 grain weight and long range, they are unbeatable. The shipping was quick, and the price is reasonable. I would definitely recommend these to others."

"I always reach for these pellets when hunting squirrels. The accuracy and speed are impressive!"

"My expensive air gun is a fan of these pellets. They’re 50% cheaper than others and arrive undamaged. Highly recommend for both hunting and target shooting!"

"With my .22 GAMO MAGNUM, these Hunter Extremes are incredibly accurate at 25 yards. They pack a punch and perform best over 800 fps. I’ve tried many pellets, but these are unmatched."

"I appreciated the chance to try out four kinds of pellets at a reasonable price, but unfortunately, none of them performed well in my gun."

"The packaging arrived open, and I found some pellets floating around, but 95% were solid and I'm excited to try them out."

"I love the variety and great price of these pellets. They fit perfectly in my Crosman Phantom and are great for hunting small creatures."

“I find these pellets to be consistent and well-made, perfect for my plinking sessions with various air rifles and my .177 Alfa Proj target pistol.”

“I was very satisfied with my purchase; they performed exactly as described, with no issues whatsoever.”

“These pellets have a great fit in my rotary magazines and cost less than the competition. They don’t fall out easily, which is a huge plus for me.”

"These pellets may not be the heaviest at 81 grains, but they perform devastatingly when used in my Benjamin Bulldog. I was able to achieve incredible expansion and accuracy, capable of taking down a large groundhog with a well-placed shot, even at 100 yards. The results are impressive, as shown in my photos of them fired into 1/8" diamond plate."

"I find these pellets to be awesome in my Benjamin Bulldog. At 86 grains, they are perfectly balanced—fast, reliable, and they penetrate well. I noticed a significant reduction in recoil compared to the heavier 144 grain pellets. It feels like they travel through the barrel smoother and quicker, with less pressure buildup required."

"I used to overlook JSB pellets, but in the 9mm/.357 range, they surprisingly perform decently in my Air-Force Texan SS. They are reasonably priced and deliver a hard impact. Although I’ve noticed some imperfections on the skirts and slight sizing issues, they still provide a good overall experience."

“I purchased this primarily because it's biodegradable, and I love how easy to use it is!”

“The spout on the cap is a fantastic feature that really makes loading easier.”

"I purchased these H&N Hornet pellets for my Gamo Swarm Maxxim air rifle to deal with pack rats. These pellets have exceptional penetration and accuracy. I found my hunting pellet! They perform much better than others I've tried, even at 50 yards, consistently going through my spent canister. I'm impressed by their performance but, unfortunately, they are pricey."

"As an experienced hunter, I appreciate the quality of these pellets. They're very fast and accurate, and I've successfully taken down numerous squirrels with them. However, I did find them a bit overpriced compared to other options."

"Initially, I thought I wasn’t a good shot until I tried these pellets. They are extremely accurate and provide great penetration. I've used many brands, but these are the only ones I will buy for my rifle moving forward."

“I’m using a Hatsan AT44 QE Long, and these pellets perform exceptionally well! I’ve seen others say they aren’t accurate, but I believe you need a decently strong PCP rifle to make the most of them. At an average distance of 30-40 yards, they hit exactly where I aim, 100% of the time. They work great for plinking, and I can see them taking down small to medium game effortlessly. Overall, really nice pellets!”

“I have no complaints about these .25 lead pellets; they work perfectly in my air rifle. The quality is impressive, with no bent skirts and secure packaging. They shoot amazingly out of my .25 Benjamin Marauder, making them devastating on pigeons with dime-sized entry and golf ball-sized exit holes. I love the energy they deliver; they pass through 95% of the time. Just be careful with the backdrop!”

“These pellets are the bomb! I can shoot over 100 yards with them, and they feel like they’re falling from the sky onto the target. They completely cave in objects like a spray paint can. I use them with my Hatsan .25 BullMaster, and my gun handles them like a champ! They deliver upwards of 50 pounds of energy and have made a noticeable impact on the cottontail population!”
